Almst no one talks about these things, analysts generaqlly just discuss how great he is. You are mentioning things people generally don't care about. Case in point:

No one knocks his performance that year. He set a TD record and in the SB had a clutch TD to put the Pats ahead with a few minutes on the clock. Unfortunately it was a few minutes too many, but no one is knocking him for this but you.

Brady was lucky to even make the superbowl that year.

He played a brutal game vs. SD that year, and since THE TEAM around him was great, they overcame his short commings and went on to play in the superbowl.

He also played bad last year vs Ravens and the team overcame it in the AFC Championship.

Aside from our superbowl year, Manning has never had the fortune of playing remotely close to bad and the team being able to overcome it in the playoffs. Never. Zero wins.

You're just a blind homer if you think people don't talk about the AFC being weaker or Spygate.

Ok, who's talking about the AFC being weak right now? And what do we hear more than the other, that Tom Brady is an all-time great QB, or that his SB victories don't count as much because of spygate? You may not be capable of realizing this but nothing you're saying is relevant.

The way that this thread became about Brady is funny. Poor Peyton fans.

All you can do is nitpick because overall it was clearly a great season. He set the record for TDs and made the SB. The vast majority of NFL starters would call that the greatest season of thier career.

Sure. So? I never claimed every game he played was great.

Maybe if Manning played better his teams would of actually gone further in the playoffs...

Lets break this down a bit further for Peyton:

Vs. Ravens - He deserves blame for throwing the pick, however overall, taking the whole game into account, he played slightly below average. He had some really fine moments, and a terribly bad one.

2010, Vs. Jets - he played very good. Led us to a go ahead FG attempt late in game....40 seconds or somethng lke that left and then the defense and special teams and coaching let us down, and they lose via a Sanchez FG Drive.

'09 Superbowl - he tossed the pick. He played below average everything included.

'08 Chargers - he played well. For whatever reason, they just beat us.

'07 Chargers - He played very good, wasn't his fault the Chargers back up QB came in and put up numerous touchdowns aganst our defense.

'05 Pitt - He played well. Our OLine got destroyed. If you remember the type of pressure Luck was getting last week, that's what Manning had to deal with. Then Peyton gets team in position to kick the game into overtme and Vanderjact misses.

The years prior, he deserves blame. Tennessee, Jets, both Pats games...he sucked and he deserves the criticism.

As you can see, he has played well in a lot of playoff loses. Especially since '05.

He's played in 22 playoff games. You found 6 bad ones. Congrats.

Not nitpicking at all, just stating the cold hard truth. He wouldn't have made the superbowl if hs team didn't overcome his bad play in the playoff game.

IT'S A TEAM GAME.

BTW, he has played in 22 playoff games, and won six in which he has had a 76 rating or lower.

Overall, he has those six, and 3 other terrible/brutal games (jets, ravens, broncos) and then debateable ones like '06 Indy and the two superbowls.

Brady is no playoff saint. He has been particularly bad since more was asked of him.

It's not nitpicking; it's putting things in context. Saying "5 SBs in 11 seasons" without delving into the details is like those obnoxious kobe stans that just close their ears and yell "5 ringz!"

Has there been a Patriots team on which Brady was not the team's best player? If Shaq didn't have 3 Finals MVP awards those Bryant fans would have a point. As it stands, comparing Brady to Bryant isn't exactly a bad thing.

Yeah, Brady wasn't even the best player on offense the first year he won it. That was a legit Trent Dilfer like year. Things like that have to be taken into account

As you can see, he has played well in a lot of playoff loses. Especially since '05.

I like how you ignored all of Peyton's playoffs games before 2005.

Quote:

In Manning’s 10 playoff losses in Indy, the Colts averaged just 14.2 points per game.

If they were putting up more points, maybe they wouldn't be constantly putting the defense in that position. It was the problem yesterday. Manning had a lot of chances to put away the game and not put the defense in the position. The defense actually did a good job forcing the Ravens to punt, but Peyton never took advantage of it.
